Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques Domaine Mortet Denis, 2023

Denis Mortet’s Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is a refined expression of one of the Côte de Nuits’ most coveted climats, combining power, precision, and unmistakable village character. From a prestigious Premier Cru site in Burgundy, it captures the depth and minerality that have made Gevrey-Chambertin one of the region’s most admired appellations.

Tasting Notes
This wine typically shows a deep ruby color with vibrant clarity. On the nose, it tends to offer layers of dark cherry, blackberry, violet, spice, and earthy, mineral nuances, with subtle oak adding structure rather than dominance. The palate is usually concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with ripe red and black fruit, firm but polished tannins, and a savory, stony finish that reflects the Lavaux Saint-Jacques terroir. In its youth it can be quite expressive, but it also has the structure to evolve gracefully over many years, gaining complexity and tertiary notes with bottle age.

Production
Lavaux Saint-Jacques is one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most respected Premier Cru vineyards, known for its cool, elevated position and limestone-rich soils that help preserve freshness and finesse. Denis Mortet’s approach is traditionally meticulous, with careful vineyard work and selective harvesting aimed at capturing purity of fruit and site expression. Vinification is typically handled with gentle extraction and thoughtful oak aging to support the wine’s natural structure without masking its character.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted duck, game birds, beef tenderloin, braised lamb, and mushroom-based dishes. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses and dishes featuring truffle or forest-floor flavors. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
